knows it but him. He is 62 years old and would not ever agree to an evaluation. He has an agenda with me for some reason and can be very vindictive. I am his sister who is 12 years younger than him.

He is living in a condemned house that my mother holds the mortgage on. It has been in forclosure for the past year. He received a 10 day vacate notice last june and nobody followed up

You can seek and involuntary conservatorship. The days of a doctor's letter and off the person goes are gone. Your facts above do not give anthing but conclusions to analyze.

I am not your attorney until retained by a written retainer agreement signed by both of us. I am only licensed in California.
